Off-topic: Speaking of Off-Topic, what're all these | OT | after thread titles?

Edit: LOL, not Off-Topic. Official Thread.

To save bandwidth, maybe?

I also got the free shipping, and according to Amazon it should be at my house by Wednesday. Not really that long of a wait, plus a free $20.

My delivery estimate is June 7 - 11. I just caved in to the hype and ordered it this afternoon though. May 28 shipping estimate.

I just got the Game. Apparently it's out today (Saturday) in Mexico. I played a couple of levels but I was too hungry so I'm having dinner right now. Oh yeah. I also had preordered from amazon but I couldn't wait. I'll sell the other copy or give it to my nephew.

 

[adg1034]

Holy crap, that is Dancing Mad or The Extreme levels of EPIC.

I know it's been said before, but it bears repeating: for pure joy, try Puzzle Plank Galaxy.

So I didn't preorder this game...I've gotten out of the habit of preordering since I like to shop around for stores who put the game out on street date. Will I have trouble getting my hands on it? I'm thinking probably not, but man that sure would be a disaster.

Nah.
They send hundreds of copies to most stores.

Why not pre-order now and get a $20 games credit at amazon?

Oh, Puzzle Plank is good, but it has a more Party style feel to it, whereas the final boss music has that epic, grandiose feel.

cos i want to have the game when it comes out

 

[Kard8p3]

I hadn't listened to the hurry! theme till just a few minute ago but I'm really liking it.

I was going to pre-order from amazon, but considering it's a long weekend here I couldn't imagine having to wait two extra days knowing I could of had it already. Only game I'm willing to pass up saving money in order to be happier earlier.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Masashi Hamauzu, eat your heart out. Galaxy 2 is how you do an orchestral soundtrack.

 

[bounchfx]

Galaxy 2 GET!!

by far the worst service I ever had at a wal mart. they were slow (literally barely moving), had no idea what I was talking about, and ridiculed me for getting it. new low. jesus. I can't say I had expectations for wal mart but whatever it was they sure took it down a notch.

 

[Synless]

You could do what I did and get an Amazon copy with the $20 credit, go to Walmart and buy it at midnight (like I just did), and return the copy from Amazon to Walmart when it comes in. Its a win win situation.

Yeah, Walmarts are pretty much shit holes.
I've never been to one that was even clean...
Ugh.

 

[andymcc]

i got the game at wally-world.

game requires system update. is my homebrew going to be fucked? :lol

If you have homebrew, surely you have Priiloader or the USB loader installed which allows you to skip those pesky updates!

Wow, it really works out like that? :lol Have to remember this from now on.

 

[JRW]

Whats with the |OT| in thread titles?

 

[Synless]

Why wouldn't it? Your just taking the Amazon copy back to Walmart or whatever store you bought the first copy from, just don't lose your receipt!!

 

[-PXG-]

Stacks with Edge Card. So yeah, that's a whopping 60% bonus. Can't complain about that.

 

[Synless]

Its to streamline the official threads (OT) so that there is no confusion and so they are more easily identified.

 

[bounchfx]

OH GOD ITS SO GOOD.

AND ALL I DID WAS PUT IN MY NAME

Spoiler

/millhouse

why the fuck do my batteries have to be almost dead!? I fucking forgot to buy batteries while I was at the store.. shit.

does the game come with an update? is it homebrew safe?

Thanks.

So this thread should be called |T| then?

Really? Uh, I'm pretty sure I would have gotten the dickheads fired if it were me. At my Wal-Mart they actually got over the intercom and said "customers may now come to the electronics where they can purchase Super Mario Galaxy 2™!"

But yeah, that is shitty and not to be tolerated. Fuck them. The title screen to the game alone is greater than their pitiful and unfortunate existence :lol

I stopped after getting 3 or 4 stars, it's late and I know if I kept going, I would just... keep going. All I needed was a taste, but I got a fucking steak dinner.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Uh, I'm pretty sure I would have gotten the dickheads fired if it were me.

Oh come on, they work at fucking Wal-Mart. Either their life sucks to begin with and/or working at Wal-Mart is worse than being unemployed.

 

[brandonh83]

True enough but that doesn't give them the right to criticize one of their customers for purchasing a pretty popular game. And hey, a job is a job. It's better than what more than a few people are able to find at the moment. Still, whether they love their job or hate it, it's no reason to be an outright douchebag to a customer.

But whatever, not my business nor did it happen to me. Just saying, if someone was like that to me I would more than likely bring it up to a manager. Who fucking cares though, this game is amazing and worth the "ridicule!"

 

[yanhero]

Are there any stores selling this at midnight in vancouver canada?

 

[NotWii]

It's dumb to nest them inside the middle of the thread name
Putting them at the beginning would make them lineup...

OT: Super Mario Galaxy 2
OT: Portal 2

But it should be changed to something other than 'OT', it's too easy to confuse with Off topic

 

[brandonh83]

Also, Bowser's dialogue has been fucking hilarious.

Spoiler

"I'm HUUUUGE!!!" and "Have fun with your mushrooms... gwahahaha"

As a fan of great over-the-top Bowser lines, this game is delivering in spades.

 

[bounchfx]

oh man. I'm only 3 stars in and this is the happiest a game has made me in a while. it's like some kind of wonderful drug. so fucking good... even after all the hype.

 

[BowieZ]

Call some of these numbers up and see if they're open!

Yup, from what I've seen, this game has much more of the humor and self deprecation of your typical Paper Mario game.

Fortunately with much less pretentious dialogue!

 

[Reticent Rhino]

It can't be named Galaxy. New console, new surname.

Super Mario Dimension. In 3D (more likely that would be the Mario 3DS title, though).

You're onto something there...

Agreed.

 

[Neiteio]

So... What levels in what games does Throwback Galaxy feature?

 

[Bit-Bit]

My friend and I just got back from a Wal Mart with a copy of the game. He's playing it right now.

 

[Onesimos]

Strong GOTY candidate.

Take that Sackboy! (LittleBig Planet 2)

Take that Link! (Legend of Zelda Wii)

Unfortunately, only Thwomp's Fortress. It was kind of disappointing, to be honest.

Punch him and take the controls!

Just got home from the first of many Victoria Day weekend BBQ parties, and man do I want to play this some more (30 stars or so in)....but I'm soooo tired :lol

Victoria Day? Victoria Australia?

Canada

Ah, okay. I was like, that's not fair! We don't get a Queensland Day!

Many a time did Galaxy 1 make me think Mario was better at Zeldaing than Link.
